The Rutgers wrestling team split the Journeymen Duals in Troy, N.Y. on Saturday for its fourth win as well as its first loss of the season. The No. 15 Scarlet Knights (4-1) defeated Appalachian State, 26-9, in their first meet, but fell to Utah Valley, 24-14, to close out the day.

When the final whistle blew at the end of the 125-pound title match at the NCAA Championships in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday night, the approximately five-month season for the Rutgers wrestling team came to a close.

It was a historic weekend for the Rutgers wrestling team in Cleveland, Ohio, as the team produced a national finalist for the first time in program history, two All-Americans and placed a program-best 11th with 42.5 total team points at the NCAA Championships.

The season all comes down to this — the next three days at the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Cleveland, Ohio. And for six athletes on the Rutgers wrestling team, this is what they’ve been training for all year.

With the Big Ten and NCAA Championships on the horizon, the Rutgers wrestling team will wrestle its sixth ranked opponent in its last five weekends, when it goes head to head with No. 18 Wisconsin tonight in Madison. All five teams the No. 21 Scarlet Knights have faced during that span are in the Big Ten, as are the Badgers.

Last Friday night, the No. 18 Rutgers wrestling team kicked off what would be a bittersweet night, no matter the result of the match. Friday was Senior Night, marking the final time that five of the team's wrestlers would wrestle at the Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC) in front of the home crowd.

It was supposed to be a great night for the Rutgers wrestling team as friends and family poured into the Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC) one final time this season to honor the seniors who were leaving behind their legacies for the program.
